耶利米書2:33-37

2:33 你怎麼修飾你的道路要求愛情呢？就是惡劣的婦人你也叫她們行你的路。

2:34 並且你的衣襟上有無辜窮人的血；你殺他們並不是遇見他們挖窟窿，乃是因這一切的事。

2:35 你還說：我無辜；耶和華的怒氣必定向我消了。看哪，我必審問你；因你自說：我沒有犯罪。

2:36 你為何東跑西奔要更換你的路呢？你必因埃及蒙羞，像從前因亞述蒙羞一樣。

2:37 你也必兩手抱頭從埃及出來；因為耶和華已經棄絕你所倚靠的，你必不因他們得順利。

“How well you direct your course

to seek love!

So that even to wicked women

you have taught your ways.

  Also on your skirts is found

the lifeblood of the guiltless poor;

you did not find them breaking in.

Yet in spite of all these things

  you say, ‘I am innocent;

surely his anger has turned from me.’

Behold, I will bring you to judgment

for saying, ‘I have not sinned.’

  How much you go about,

changing your way!

You shall be put to shame by Egypt

as you were put to shame by Assyria.

  From it too you will come away

with your hands on your head,

for the Lord has rejected those in whom you trust,

and you will not prosper by them.

    人常常認為自己是沒有罪的，連犯下了滔天大罪，還沾沾自喜的表示自己是替天行道，甚至於認為自己不會遭惹上帝的憤怒。

    可是先知在此說到上帝必審問，這是非常嚴重的事，因為在上帝面前人士無所遁逃，我們做了任何事，上帝都看見，也都知道！而犯罪的事，更是上帝看得清清楚楚的；所犯的罪，上帝都能一一細數，誰也無法否認的！

    所以，人必要在上帝面前勇敢認罪，才能得上帝的赦免和拯救。若想想找別倚靠來保護自己脫離上帝的審判，那是不可能的。因為，沒有人能在上帝面前站立的住，所以誰也不能保護誰。

    然而上帝卻設立了耶穌基督成為我們的保護，更讓我們靠耶穌基督在上帝面前站立得住，因為耶穌基督是上帝和人中間唯一中保，是人唯一的救主，讓我們靠主耶穌基督在上帝面前，享受正確合一的關係吧！
